His highness's Allure - Chap 227
In the next few days, because of the embarrassing scene that Liu Zhiyuan bumped into, it was clear that the two of them had nothing but medicine, but A Lanyue was thin-skinned, and every time she noticed the look in Liu Zhiyuan’s eyes, The earlobes will be dark red.
Following the caravan in the past few days, Zhao Litang has been able to have the opportunity to recuperate and rest. Coupled with A Lanyue’s careful care, most of the injury has recovered.
After arriving at the barbarian capital, the two wanted to leave quietly, but Liu Zhiyuan stopped them in advance.
“You, are not barbarians.”
Liu Zhiyuan leaned in front of the two and whispered, he looked at Zhao Litang, “You are from the Celestial Dynasty.”
Alanyue tensed up suddenly, and stared at Liu Zhiyuan slightly with wide eyes.
Oops, have their identities been revealed!
Liu Zhiyuan smiled, “Don’t be nervous, I haven’t told anyone.”
Zhao Litang pursed his lips and stared at Liu Zhiyuan with some cold eyes until he explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.
Liu Zhiyuan once studied in the Celestial Dynasty. Because of the war broke out between the two countries, he was sent back by his father. During the Celestial Dynasty, Liu Zhiyuan had the opportunity to go to the frontier military camp, so he saw Zhao Li from a distance. Tang side.
That’s why he kept staring at Zhao Litang all the way, always feeling that this person was familiar.
“The barracks is a military center, how can you get in?”
Liu Zhiyuan stammered a little, “Well… yes, it’s for the convenience of a friend of mine.”
“Tell me the name, and I will punish you severely when I go back.”
Liu Zhiyuan smiled again, “You must know him, his name is Wu Quan.”
A Lanyue looked up at Zhao Litang, but she didn’t expect it to be Lieutenant General Wu.
Zhao Litang’s expression was obviously looser.
Later, Liu Zhiyuan didn’t ask what happened to the two of them, nor why they came to the barbarian capital. He found a hidden place for them in the capital, and said that if there was any trouble, they could ask him for help. .
At the beginning, Zhao Litang was still very suspicious of this Liu Zhiyuan, but after several contacts, he found that he was helping them sincerely, and asked him about Wuquan, and Liu Zhiyuan was able to answer them all. It is obvious that the two are indeed familiar with each other.
“But, why did Young Master Liu take the risk to help us? Now that the two countries are at war, aren’t you afraid of causing trouble?” Zhao Litang asked.
Liu Zhiyuan stood up and took a deep look at the two in front of him.
“Actually, I have something I want to ask you two.”
Zhao Litang said, “But it doesn’t matter.”
“I have also tried to send messages to the Celestial Dynasty, but it has never been successful. You are right, the two countries are at war, and communications are completely cut off, so if you can really go back smoothly, I would like to ask the two of you to help me bring a word to the Celestial Dynasty. ”
Liu Zhiyuan’s eyes were a little red, “Just ask him, if there is no war, he is willing to go home with me, no matter what his answer is, tell him, I will always be here waiting for him.”
“Who is that person?”
When Liu Zhiyuan said that name, Zhao Litang didn’t show any surprise, but Alanyue was surprised.
Later, Zhao Litang’s injuries were fully recovered, and the two were ready to start their journey back to the Celestial Dynasty.
Liu Zhiyuan told them a trail that his father used to secretly trade with foreigners, and there was generally no officers and soldiers to investigate.
Zhao Litang and A Lanyue rode two horses and followed the trail, and soon reached the area near the desert.
Originally, the trip was smooth and smooth, but when the two were shopping, they suddenly encountered a small army of barbarians.
More than half of the troops in this army are wounded soldiers, so it can be seen that they should have just retreated from the battlefield. They may have been defeated and fled, and they arrived at this inaccessible road in a panic.
Seeing these officers and soldiers, Alanyue couldn’t help but start to get nervous, her clenched hands were stained with sweat.
Zhao Litang patted his shoulder comfortingly, and then passed by the army on horseback as usual.
“stop!”
– A soldier shouted to the backs of the two, “Leave your horses!”
There were wounded soldiers in the army who had trouble walking, so they probably wanted to requisition their horses to carry the wounded soldiers.
Zhao Litang reined in his horse and stopped, but did not move.
Unexpectedly, two more soldiers came over, looked at them and said, “The battlefield is approaching ahead, the two of you are not allowed to move forward, leave the horses, and go home as soon as possible!”
Said that the surrounding soldiers were about to come forward to **** the horses. Alanyue was pulled under the horse by a soldier, and she was about to fall off the horse when she crooked. Zhao Litang directly reached out and scooped him onto her horse. Sitting, then waving the whip, the horse rushed out with a neigh and ran directly into the desert.
Those soldiers had to catch up again, but after seeing the direction the two were traveling, they took a few steps back.
“Breaking into the dead zone, you are seeking your own death!”
Then the soldiers led a horse and walked away cursing.
A Lanyue was wrapped in Zhao Litang’s arms again. This time, the front of the two of them was attached to the back, and there was no need to separate the gap.
Zhao Litang didn’t notice anything wrong, just concentrate on driving, but Alanyue cautiously moved forward to avoid it, and then avoided it more.
Zhao Litang suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed his body back, with a cold tone, “Move forward and you will fall.”
Alanyue just didn’t move.
After riding for most of the day, the boundless sand dunes in front of me seemed to have grown into the same shape, making it difficult to tell the direction, and there were identical dunes behind them.
Standing on a high place and looking at it, all you can see is the desert, the hot sun above your head is baking, and the people who are roasted are dizzy and their throats are dry.
“General…” Alanyue licked her dry lips. Half of their water was taken away by the other horse. Now they have only half of the water left, and they walked out of this desert. It will take three or four days at the earliest, so you must drink it sparingly.
“We seem to have been here before…”
Zhao Litang rolled over and dismounted, “I know.”
They did come here, more than once. In fact, they seemed to have been circling around these dunes for most of the day.
The more you turn, the closer you get to the depths of the desert, as if you are stuck in a vortex, and you can’t get out.
Zhao Litang pondered for a moment, it was impossible to continue like this, they couldn’t passively accept this dead end, they had to take the initiative to break it.
“Wait for me here, I’ll walk along these dunes, if it’s getting dark and I haven’t come back, follow my footprints, if the footprints are interrupted or something is wrong, you Ride back on horseback.”
Zhao Litang’s expression was very serious, “Do you understand?”
Alanyue grabbed the reins tightly and nodded.
Zhao Litang turned around and left, and when his figure was about to disappear from sight, he heard a call from the person behind him.
“General! Be careful! I’ll wait for you here again!”
Zhao Litang’s figure was covered by the yellow sand in the sky.
The wind suddenly started to blow all around, so fascinated that Alanyue couldn’t keep her eyes open.
The space between heaven and earth is barren, without any vegetation or life, as if he was the only one left in this sandstorm.
The general will be back, will be back…
Alanyue meditated in her heart, closing her eyes to resist this evil sandstorm.
The wind and sand began to blow more and more in the back, and Alanyue was overturned from the horse. He grabbed the reins forcefully and lay down beside the horse.
All that was left was the whirring of the wind and the pounding of the heartbeat.
After an unknown time, the surroundings finally returned to silence.
A Lanyue shook off the sand from her body and stood up, but she was dumbfounded.
The surrounding sand dunes actually changed again, and the footprints that Zhao Litang stepped on on the sand just now were wiped clean.
He panicked for a while, not knowing what to do, he mounted the horse again, and then shouted to the deserted desert, “General, one by one”
No one answered, the shout seemed to be thrown into a pool of stagnant water, without causing any ripples.
There was an uncontrollable feeling of desolation and despair in my heart. Being alone in this desert was like the experience of being abandoned in the past ten years.
Alanyue looked at the sand dunes in front of him, gritted his teeth and insisted on waiting, but until it was dark, he didn’t wait for anyone to come back. He was worried and rushed out on horseback.
The horse kept running on the sand, the night was getting darker, and the surrounding scenery could not be seen clearly, but Alanyue didn’t want to stop, and she didn’t want to listen to Zhao Litang’s own return.
There were some omen in his heart that the general might have encountered some kind of danger.
Running and running, the horse suddenly stopped suddenly, and Alanyue was thrown off the horse’s back before she could react. Fortunately, she fell on the sand and was not injured.
I don’t know why Ma was frightened, and with a neigh at the night sky, he began to turn back and run back.
Alanyue wanted to pull the reins, but she didn’t hold it, so she watched the horse run like crazy, and then was suddenly knocked over by a shadow jumping up in the air, and screamed in pain a few times later. , there was no movement.
Alanyue was frightened and stood there for a while, not daring to move. He stared closely at the dark place where the horse fell. There seemed to be some giant snakes and beasts hidden in it, and they would rush out and tear him to pieces at any time. .
A few pairs of green eyes really lit up in the darkness, and after walking around the dead horse for a few bites, he looked in the direction of Alanyue.
It’s a desert wolf, and it’s a pack of wolves!
Alanyue raised his throat in one breath, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, soaking his thin clothes. He opened his eyes wide and confronted the beasts opposite him, then slowly took two steps back.
As a result, he turned his head and saw that there was a wolf with green eyes not far behind him. It was a circle bigger than the others on the opposite side. No wonder the horse ran back in a panic just now.
This time, he was basically surrounded by wolves. Alanyue was forcing himself to stand firm. In fact, he was so scared that he was about to bite his lower lip to bleed.
If it really doesn’t work, I can only fight and run in both directions. Maybe I can rush out of the wolf pack, but there is a greater probability that I will be knocked down by the wolf, and then I will watch it before I die. His limbs were torn apart and eaten.
No, he hasn’t found the general yet, he must not be eaten!
Alanyue’s palms were bloodied by fingernails, he secretly counted to himself in his heart, counted down three times, and ran to the side desperately.
“call-”
Well
